Larry Gates Construction Inc

What this record tells you

Larry Gates Construction Inc holds Florida licence CRC058027, a CRC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2000, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 7% of the 645 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 26 years of continuous licensure.

Larry Gates Construction Inc is one of 255 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Pensacola, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
